Perfect Intense by Marc Jacobs is a warm, sweet floral built around almond rather than a single flower. Night blooming jasmine and narcissus open it, heady and a little green. Almond takes over the heart, nutty and sweet, before sandalwood gives it a smooth, woody finish. Launched in 2021, it is worn mostly by women who like a floral with real weight to it, an easy pick for after work. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, worn in the evening and at night. Wearers mostly vote its longevity moderate, with the sillage vote landing on moderate as well. A 10ml decant is a good way to wear it through a few cold months before you commit to the bottle.

The community verdict
Night-blooming jasmine and narcissus open Perfect Intense before almond and sandalwood bring a sweet, nutty warmth. Most find both its longevity and projection moderate. It suits autumn evenings, with winter and night working too; its playful sweetness may not suit more restrained tastes.

The house
More from Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs, the American house started in 1994 by the designer of the same name, makes perfume that feels bright, youthful and easy to wear. Fruit and flowers lead the range: pear, litchi and grapefruit over jasmine, violet and gardenia, finished with soft musk. Daisy is where most people begin, a white floral with an airy, powdery feel. Daisy Eau So Fresh is sweeter and fruitier with a green snap, and Daisy Dream stays soft, fruity and fresh. Perfect moves toward almond, green and fruity at once, and Perfect Intense makes that almond richer and nuttier.
